how to felt crochet

If you know how to crochet or are just learning how to crochet, chances are you are going to be making a baby blanket. Crochet, like any form of art, is as much about skill as about innate ability.

And as your confidence grows, you become eager to try different types of patterns that will adequately display your abilities. If you don't want to end up with your sleeves a different shade to your body, make sure all of the batch numbers on the balls you buy are the same. You can make a crocheted toy with the knowledge of three stitches and the ability to read a crochet pattern.

This is the same as the basic starting chain in crochet, except you are using a crochet hook instead of your fingers. It just takes minutes to do a whole blanket with multiple thread changes. Crochet outlet stores usually sell kits that you can assemble on your own ranging from handbags to wallets to curtains to just about anything.

Keep in mind that patterns can be adapted to suit the purpose of the project. It is great to be able to make items for yourself and as gifts for family and friends.
